WENDOVER, UT — Paul and Marnie Bowden were hurt in a plane crash that happened in Wendover, Utah on Thursday, December 11th, 2014. The article released by Desert News said that the accident happened sometime Thursday night.
Both Paul Bowden and Marnie Bowden were hurt when the Cessna 172 plane they were in crashed on the main runway of Wendover Airport. The news said that the craft was practicing landings when the plane banked and rolled over.
Paul and Marnie Bowden were taken by EMS to a nearby hospital where they were being treated for their injuries.
The investigation into the accident is currently underway.
Scene of the Accident
Commentary:
The news mentioned that the aircraft was owned by a company, which raises a few questions. First of all, was the plane well maintained? If the aircraft had fallen into a state of disrepair, why would the company allow anybody to take it out for a spin? If this plane had mechanical problems but the company that owned it was still allowing it to fly, then the company could be liable for the accident. In any case, the National Transportation Safety Board is going to look into the accident, but these investigations can take a very, very long time (and burn up a significant portion of the statute of limitations in the process) to get victims answers. If victims need answers sooner than an over-burdened government agency can deliver them.
